Willing partners with Sweet Baby Inc and other DEI companies, actively injecting Steam with politics. Read why that is bad here.
Helped mainstream gambling lootboxes & microtransactions into the video game industry.
Rakes in 5-10+ billion USD in revenue operating a corrosive 80%~ monopoly over the PC market with it's unjustifiable 30% cut, only hires a handful of staff of which|most|are|wildly|incompetent|children|at|best and vastly overpays them. Valve having no shareholders being a private company, where does all of the money go? No one knows.
Engages in widespread censorship ranging from banning legitimate reviews to suppressing review scores just because they're gifted &/ not directly bought on Steam to frequently manipulating|game|review scores to banning reviews pointing out DEI to ghost deleting certain words to engaging in discriminatory moderation to banning game developers under false pretenses and much, much more.
Operate Steam with extreme hypocrisy, abandoning human-powered moderation for things being put on the platform except for their own games or threatening 2d game developers over uncensor patches while allowing other games like Outcast 2 to have bloodied, visible genitalia.
Integrated the use of the horrible anti-consumer scam DRM Denuvo into Steamworks despite the CEO citing piracy as a non-issue.
Banned all avenues of downloading mods outside of the dysfunctional Steam Workshop. This was done as an attack on their competitors (GOG, etc) that usually got some mods this way but this has also crippled things for server owners and even regular users that want to stop mods from updating (and breaking) themselves which can't be disabled.
Want me to keep going? You'll forget all of this tomorrow anyway.
